Thanks Herschel family for their 'kind interest' in her behalf.
Has had great satisfaction in reading JH's book on Natural Philosophy, but would like to correct his statement regarding the date of the introduction of lemon juice as a treatment for scurvy.
Sends Brown a copy of his recently published paper, On the Examination of a Hybrid Digitalis. Comments on Brown’s work, Observations on the Organs and Mode of Fecundation in Orchideæ and Asclepiadeæ and says he is looking forward to fact checking it in the summer. Asks to visit Brown for another ‘lesson’.
Says he has not had time to examine mignonette specimen, hopes to do so soon and complete drawings. Sends some of the wood specimens being gathered for Cambridge Botanical Museum, largely from the plantations of his father in law, George Leonard Jenyns.

Plans to arrive tomorrow for visit.
Takes a lively interest in his application for a professorship at Durham. Remembers him gratefully as his coach for mathematics while at Cambridge.
Recommends WS pay attention to planetary nebulae, solid clusters, and double stars in his observations. JH lists some of each.
Wants WS to make a choice between the several skeleton forms JH has devised for recording astronomical observations. Also comments on orbit of Gamma Virginis and 30 Scorpii, as well as Encke's Comet.
Expresses thanks for extract on cholera. Sends a copy of a paper on double stars. Hopes soon to be able to send supplement on double star orbits.
Would like JH's views on the proposed meeting at York of the Friends of Science (later the B.A.A.S.).
Surprised that HG misinterpreted JH's comments to suggest disrespect for Thomas Young. Will not defend them. If HG does not want to include these in Young's biography, then return manuscript to JH and destroy all copies of it.

Has had many melancholy afflictions since they last met. Would like JH's support for his intended application for Professorship of Mathematics at the forthcoming University of Durham.

Opinion on M. C. T. Damoiseau's theory and tables; worth a medal.
Brings FF up-to-date on astronomical news in England, and suggests that JH may come to the Cape.
